This well known tune is again a Silver Medal choice for 2009. I play it on my David Naill pipes with McCallum chanter. Drones sounding good. A couple of wee slips but overal not a bad rendition of a LONG tune.

  • Thank you very much for putting this up. This was played at my father's internment in the north of Scotland. He had been a piper himself.

  • YOu're welcome! Are you in Scotland yourself??

  • do you play the carbon fibre croziers, omegas, or the cane-tongues?

  • I have the carbon fibres...I used Omegas a long time ago before they were Crozier but haven't had the guts to try the cane ones. Omegas too finnicky for me especially in cooler, damp climates (Scotland most of the time) as a lot of the reed is metal. I like these so no plans to change...

  • thank you for playing my favorite, I remember Hammie (Workman) playing this piece. He made my pipes, his only silver pipes. Great memories of NAACP

  • I think you have bionic fingers...Well Done, BRAVO !!! I only have 3 yr's of piping, but this is where I'm going one day.

  • Ohhh that is nice!!!

  • Don't forget to water your plants! Nice job piping!

  • Thanks a lot! I like the way you play it. I just started on this one last week. So I did read and listen. I learned a bit and I enjoyned it thnak you.

  • @grievesr Hi there - no, I wouldn't for a couple of reasons. First, it's a long tune, Second, it is quite a controversial tune and some judges HATE it while others love it. Some of the more famous players like Donald MacLeod and John D Burgess really rushed the tune along in the variations. For a first tune I'd stick to something recommended by the College in their Book 4. Thanks for listening.

  • can you put a video up of you playing "his fathers lament for donald mackenzie" thats a great tune

  • five stars!
